Purpose:
Hide 'changes in this release' section, which is now in the _AD_Guide_
and is no longer maintained in this document.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla
Purpose:
To include new functionality.
Description:
Added twelve new functions:
H5Iregister H5Iclear_type
H5Iregister_type H5Iget_type_ref
H5Idestroy_type H5Iget_file_id
H5Iremove_verify H5Inmembers

This is a checkin for technical content;
an editorial checkin will follow, though not immediately.
Platforms tested:
Mozilla, IE, Safari
Code optimization & bug fix
Description:
When dimension information is being stored in the storage layout message
on disk, it is stored as 32-bit quantities, possibly truncating the dimension
information, if a dimension is greater than 32-bits in size.
Solution:
Fix the storage layout message problem by revising file format to not store
dimension information, since it is already available in the dataspace.
Also revise the storage layout data structures to be more compartmentalized
for the information for contiguous, chunked and compact storage.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
Solaris 2.7 (arabica)
h5committest
Purpose:
Bugfixes in H5Gset_comment, h5gget_comment_f, and h5gset_comment_f.
(Follow-on to the H5Gget_comment bugfix of last week.)
Description:
Changed C parameter descriptions to indicate the following:
'loc_id' can be file, group, dataset, or named datatype.
'name' can be '.' if 'loc_id' fully describes the object.
'name' is ignored if 'loc_id' is a dataset or named datatype.
Modified h5gget_comment_f and h5gset_comment_f notes accordingly.
Copy edits in H5Gget/set_comment and h5gget/set_comment_f.
Platforms tested:
Safari
Purpose:
H5Gget_comment bugfix
Description:
H5Gget_comment: Changed "Description" text and "Parameters"
descriptions to indicate the following:
'loc_id' can be file, group, dataset, or named datatype.
'name' can be '.' if 'loc_id' fully describes the object.
'name' is ignored if 'loc_id' is a dataset or nemed datatype.
Also corrected the fact that the 'name' parameter description
referred to setting the comment rather than retriving it.
Platforms tested:
Safari
Purpose:
Clean up RM formatting.
Modify RM HTML code to facilitate automated generation of PDF version.
Minor edits.
Description:
Reworked format of "Options" and "Parameters" sections.
Added HTML tags (and pseudo-HTML tags) used by HTMLdoc to
generate PDF files.
Other minor copy edits.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Bugfix: Bugzilla #66
Solution:
H5Pset_szip -- Corrected the plist parameter description.
Since this property can be set only in the dataset
creation property list, changed the parameter description
from
Dataset creation or dataset transfer property list identifier.
to
Dataset creation property list identifier.
Fixes Bugzilla bug #66.
Platforms tested:
IE 5
Purpose:
Clean up RM formatting.
Modify RM HTML code to facilitate automated generation of PDF version.
Minor edits.
Description:
Reworked format of "Parameters" sections.
Added HTML tags (and pseudo-HTML tags) used by HTMLdoc to
generate PDF files.
Fixed the "Copyright" link on RM_H5Front.html.
Other minor copy edits.
Platforms tested:

Purpose:
replaced name of delete filter with remove filter for the new function H5Premove_filter

Misc. update:
Bug fix/optimization
Description:
Address slowdown in MPI-I/O file metadata operations that was introduced
mid-stream. We now _require_ a POSIX compliant parallel file system for the
MPI-I/O file driver (as well as for the MPI-POSIX file driver).
Also optimized file open operation when the file is being created by
reducing the number of collective & syncronizing calls.
Additionally, refactor the MPI routines into a common place, eliminating
duplicated code.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir) w/parallel
h5committest
Code cleanup
Description:
Add C++ and FORTRAN wrappers for new H5Pdelete_filter routine, along with
documentation and a note in the release notes.
Platforms tested:
FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
Linux 2.4 (verbena) w/ C++ and FORTRAN
Too minor for full h5committest
Bug fix
Description:
When two property lists are compared, the H5Pequal routine was just
comparing the raw information for the property values. This causes problems
when the raw information contains pointers to other information.
Solution:
Allow a 'compare' callback to be registered for properties, so that a user
application get perform the comparison itself, allowing for "deep" compares of
the property value.
This was exported to the H5Pregister & H5Pinsert routines in the development
branch, but not the release branch.

FreeBSD 4.9 (sleipnir)
